Lawrence states that while North Carolina has not produced the inventors Edison, McCormick, or Morse, that the state still has had its share of inventors, including Dr. Richard J. Gatling. His inventions include a machine for planting and a steam plow created in 1867. However, the invention Gatling is known the world over for is the Gatling Gun.
